How Many States Have You Visited? (Cody)

create your own personalized map of the USA
or check out ourCalifornia travel guide

Here is mine. Not sure about Nevada??

Guy Stuff…Ugh!

Cody has learned a few things at school…straight A’s!
You go babe!
This spring break weekend is a bit cold and boring so
far…Cody, Sam and Connor thought it would
be fun to make mini flashlights out of Tic-Tac
boxes.
Grissom and I had the hardest job of all…eating the Tic-tacs.

Can you see a trip to the emergency room in near future?

I started to doze off right around here…

I woke up just in time to take a couple pictures of the finished
project…pretty cool huh!

It actually works! Yay! Of course it does! Kept everyone busy for a couple of hours and mommy got in a little snooze as well…all is good.

Dad’s Duty

Mom:  Daddy will bring you a special lunch from the store today, kids

Sam:  Is he gonna bring it to my classroom?

Mom:  Is that a problem?

Sam:  It’ll be embarrassing!

Now I HAVE to, of course.

I walked it up to his class room door, and knocked plenty hard.  Sam comes running up to the door and opens it real quick.  I make sure I hand it to the blushing boy, and give his teacher a big wave Hi!  

“Am I embarrassing you, Sam?”

“No,”  he says as he slumps away.

Mission accomplished.

We Knew It Would Happen…

The shotgun is cleaned, loaded and ready…and this daddy will be sitting on the front porch waiting for the boy who’s been calling on his first little girl…

Yep, Madison was asked by a boy at school today, if she would dance with him at the spring dance on friday!
Maddie was excited…mom and dad not so much!

Needless to say it is chaperoned and Cody says he is going to be there, so really no worries…right? We’re not ready for this!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Cody

Ha! Ha! Your gettin’ older! Ha! Ha! Ha-Haa! Ha!
We’re back in the same demographic!

Anywho, Cody made out today from the kids…
I let the older kids walk to Walgreens with ten dollars in hand.
Mallorie bought her Daddy a ‘report cover’ in blue just because
he might need it for his school…too cute!
Madison bought a travel coffee mug and two candle holders/with candles.
“For a romantic night” Madison said.
Sam gave his Dad an envelope filled with change that he found
on the floor in his room. Such a thoughtful child, isn’t he?
Grissom was gracious enough to give his Daddy all of his germs…
A kiss and a sneeze…bless you Grissom!

I got to make him dinner, my version of cordon bleu…
with broccoli and roasted red potatoes with a red pepper too!
The best compliment, I think is when there are no left~overs…
My kids could eat broccoli at every meal and be so happy, they love it!

The kids and I had fun making one cake and 24 cup~cakes for the
birthday boy… yellow cake with chocolate frosting…his fav!

Again I wasn’t prepared for everything…the candles! I always forget
the stinkin’ candles! So we used what we had…pink and only 24 of them!

The kids and I lit the lovely ‘pink’ candles, just as Cody gets a phone call from
work! As you can see in the picture above the phone conversation lasted a bit
too long…

Finally…a wish was made!

Lots Of Stuff To Talk About…

This is Mallorie’s hat…a work in progress. I can’t wait to see
her in it! It reminds me of neopolitan ice cream…it’s kinda hard
to see that in this picture though. Cody should be finished with
it any day now…

Drummer Boy…
He thought of this one on his own…pretty clever!
I know, in his underwear again. That’s how he rolls.
Cody and I wonder everyday how he will do in school.
Grissom is a hands on learner, tactile and doesn’t sit
still for nothing. We will see…

More Mallorie bloggie time…this child has given
us our share of gray (white for me) hairs in her lifetime.
This morning she woke us up screaming and crying
and saying she is going to die in two days!?! I have more
white hairs now thank you very much…
Poor thing, I guess this was her second night
dreaming that she was going to die…the night before
she dreamt it was three days and to dream it again with
two days, it felt real to her. Very upsetting!

I’m sure most of you guys know that Mallorie
has always had a kind of “sixth sense ” about
things…
Last year she came running into the house
from our backyard saying she saw a small plane
on fire in the sky and that it was going to crash.
I ran outside to look and saw nothing…
I just shrugged it off and went about my day…
Mallorie on the other hand was very adamant.

The next day in the newspaper, there was
a plane that crashed about 20 miles from
our house… Mallorie was the one that saw it
in the paper first, she said mom that is the
plane I saw on fire! We were a little wigged out!

So, when this girl says she had a dream she
is going to die in two days, we stand up and
take notice! We always keep a close eye on
her as well as our other kiddos, we plan on
keeping a tight leash on this child for now.

Please say a little prayer for her, that she will
have sweet and happy dreams from now on.

Have a super day!
